Drag Truck WINS Race! *and weight update

My cam originally was a purple performance 464 lift and then went to a 603 lift and now as a 526 lift..
I told Ken if we grind it again it's going to be the circumference of a toothpick in the center LOL..

One thing they cannot move a bunch is the LSA. That is why Matt's is on a 112.

Brian's is on a 109, but he bought the core from Ken at Oregon. Ken said some years had tighter LSAs, and I should have written it down...

Oh, and I plan on moving Old Yeller up by the shop today...

I kinda figured they couldnt change the lsa

Did you ever post the specs on the cam? I thought you did, but can't remember which thread.

I did, but I can't remember where I posted either... LOL. I believe the duration @ 050 is 218/226, and lift is .494/.505(?) with 1.5 rocker (of course, I'll be using 1.6).

It depends. They were able to move the LSA on my 331 hemi cam from 113 to 106. Now mind you, the base circle is almost even with the cam core and I had to use custom length adjustable pushrods. Not adjustable because of the cam grind, but so I would have an adjustment going to a solid cam.

Yeah, I remember that and you had a pretty good core to get that done. You can move a cast iron flat tappet more than a billet core.

What hot Rod magazine article did that information come from... Bahahaha..
LOL...:poke:...:rofl:....:D...

That’s not out of a magazine. That’s a simple fact. Cast iron cores aren’t heat treated. Steel cores are.

I had a V8 cam I think it was out of a range Rover or something and I tapped it on the ground and it broke in half! I thought to myself gosh darn that's cheap...

Ironically I have never ever once had somebody asked me how fast my duster will go LOL... just by looking at it they know they better hold on to their nuts...
I did have a customer who sunk ungodly amounts of money into this 273 LOL.. hydraulic lifters and Harland sharp roller rockers LOL the biggest air gap intake and look look like the biggest Holley double pumper I've ever seen in my life LOL.. I came about helping him take the heads off because he had cracked one likely just revving it up in the driveway LOL.. the heads were almost stuck on by the black soot build-up from that massive carburetor.. I never could wrap my head around how someone could take solid lifters out and put hydraulic lifters in and take out Factory 273 adjustable rockers and put in Harland sharp roller rockers LOL...
